Two of My Favorites!!!

I stumped you all!!

As I said earlier this week, I am approaching my one year Blogiversary. In this year I have met some amazing women that I never would have met in everyday life and I love "visiting" you all.....you have all touched my heart in one way or another and for that I am so thankful. In addition, I have also won a couple of great giveaways from some very generous friends and thought that this was the perfect time to pay it forward and do my first ever bloggy giveaway.

I asked you all to take a guess as to what I was going to give away and almost everyone guessed something to do with food or photography. While those were great guesses and two of my favorite things, you were ALL wrong:(

I also love JEWELRY, and to me there is nothing like a great piece of sterling silver or two, or three, or four....you get the point:)

Have any of you heard of Si!pada Designs???? I am sure that you have, there are women dripping in this silver everywhere you go, but if you have not you must check it out.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a fundraiser for Autism. It was hosted my one of my best friends who just happens to be a National Director for Si!pada. She had a jeweler at her house who was letting you turn in your old 14 karat gold jewelry in order to have money to purchase Silpada's Sterling Silver. All the proceeds were then going directly to our local chapter of "Autism Speaks"

Many of you have emailed or commented throughout the past year on some of my chunky silver pieces, and I decided that this is what I wanted to giveaway......... so I spent my gold dollars on two of my favorites......One of them is about to be retired out of the line so I ordered it just in nick of time.

I hope you like them as much as I do......


One of you will be the lucky winner of the hammered sterling silver ring and bangle bracelet. I am sure you recognize them, because I have one of these pieces on in almost every picture of me that has ever been posted on the blog. Don't worry about ring size, I have it all worked out with my friend. I ordered a pretty standard size but if we need to get a different size, she assured me it could be exchanged.

To enter just leave me a comment. I know that there are some family members and friends that read but don't comment, you can take part too, but you have to leave a comment with your email address if you don't blog:)

The contest will close next Sunday April 5th at midnight EST and the winner will be announced on April 8th....GOOD LUCK, I can't wait to see someone sporting that shiny silver!!!

And just in case you are wondering, I photographed my pieces because the new ones are on order. Looking at the picture, I can see many dings in the bracelet......just wanted to let you know, yours will be brand spankin new:)
